The WIFA Street Suede Boots are an amazing pair of roller skate boots from Europe that have a clean but unique aesthetic that feels even better than it looks! The full suede leather uppers wear into the perfect fit as they break-in naturally. High quality smooth leather linings provide comfort inside, along with soft ankle padding for additional protection.
The outsoles on Street Suede Boots are also leather - over 90% of the boot is made with natural materials - and they have beautiful wooden heels that are coated with a protective layer of PVC. That heel also has bolts running through it to reinforce its durability and prevent heel separation. These are beautifully made boots that are especially suitable for dance and trail skating, but also make excellent boots for entry-level figure and park skating, as well.
